Swim sucked at first cause of the sun. After that got into a groove. My sitting was piss poor though. I would breaststroke to site.

Nothing really wetsuit made this a easy swim. Maybe get a better position on the start. Maybe start out faster.

Took my time here to make sure i had everything. Wetsuit got stuck on heels but wasn't to hard to remove. Concrete was hard on the feet running out.

Nothing just took my time.

Well at mile 40 i felt small twinges in my legs that felt like cramps. Mile 47 they started cramping and releasing on me so I had to slow pedal. I finally stopped to relax my legs and stretch my back out. My low back was killing me also. Legs felt good again after about 3-4 min so I jumped back on the bike. I'm against the wind now all the way back home knowing I have one big climb left back near the finish. I was worried at this point cause I didn't know how to handle the situation. at Mile 40 my salt tab bottle flew out of the bike pocket when I took some shot bloks. The last climb was approaching so i gained speed on the downhill and made it halfway up when they locked up on me. I had to get off the bike or fall over. At that point I'm on the ground trying to bend my legs to release them. Massive pain just like i felt at Goatneck long ago. I laid on the ground awhile and they finally released. I'm at mile 55 right now on half way up the last climb to the finish line. I finally get up and start walking up the hill. Every step they would cramp and release. Once I get to top I get on the bike and coast down to the finish. Walk my back to the rack. I sat down to relax.

No freaking clue. I would of never of guessed this would happen. My biking fitness was the best of all 3. The only thing I can think of is the Dry heat threw me off. I never felt hot or sweaty and I base everything off how I feel. My wife said my head and beard were pure white and thought it was sun lotion, but nope that was salt. I should of been taking salt tabs every 30 min.

My whole rack was on the ground with bikes all over the place. Someone threw their bike up and took down the rack. I had no idea what to do. The guy next to me just put his bike on the ground and took off. I layed mine up against the next rack. I'm sure some ppl were going to be pissed off.

HAHAHAH. No have cramps and get out of T2.

DNF. Made a half of mile and was cramping with every step. I sat on the ground waiting for them to go away but when i started running again they would lock up. I finally made the decision I'm done. I was very tough for me to quit like that.

No clue didn't

Overall this is a great race. I wish it was closer so I could of pre-road the course to know what to expect. I felt like I did everything right and I really don't have any clue what happen. Those hills must of really affected me.
